Auckland Life
And before you know it, it’s over.
This year has finally come to an end. I have a couple more exams left and then I will be officially finished with my first year. Writing this post gave me a chance to look back on my first year of university. I got to thinking about how if I had known that this...
Answering the big question, why?
In this I answer the many 'why' questions in regards to why I chose to do things and end up in this position. I hope to use this in order to help anyone looking to study and live in Auckland in future. So why? Why Auckland? Why Law, Politics and French? Why...
Anything can happen.
Recently I have found myself really not myself. I have been on and off sick for a while and now my body just seems to have hit by a train. These last couple of weeks have been interesting though as some unexpected things have happened like I THINK I'M SWITCHING...
This past semester the music block has been filled with anticipation as the School of Music festival comes to life. With a wide variety of talents on display throughout September it has been a privilege to partake in what can only be explained as a truly AWESOME...
I Can(‘t) Wait
While procrastinating on my assignments during this mid-semester break, I found myself looking at journals from earlier this year. They were all about me looking forward to things ahead or reminiscing on memories. Then I came across a journal which simply said "I...
Finals Preparation (!!!)
I’m currently sitting in front of my gate at Shanghai International Airport, waiting to board my 15-hour flight to New York City. With five hours to go until my plane arrives, what better opportunity than now to reminisce about the last month of exam preparation...
Living in a hall
I always imagined that living in a hall would be like how the movies were. I thought making friends would be instantaneous and everyone would be super social and friendly. Obviously, I was being very idealistic. The reality is hall life isn't always easy.
Remembering to Breath
Stressed. Stressed. Stressed. This single word thrums against my skull over and over again as I try and study. Some would say that this is a telling sign of a headache. My pretentious, overworked ass, on the other hand, has convinced itself that it is the...
Getting back in the groove!
I’m back! Back in blog form and also back in the Big A after some well needed time away. The inter-semester break treated me like no other, but after a month of doing nothing, I feel more than ready to start doing something. So to honour the title of this blog, I...
Swimming in a Pool of Pity
Today marks the first week of semester two complete. Me llamo Eunice. Soy americano, soy de California. Vivo en Nueva Zelanda. For my general ed class I decided to take Spanish 104G which is beginners Spanish. Or so I thought. The textbook and...
Recovered. Reenergised. Ready!
Following from my last blog Relocate. Relax. Recalibrate I can report that SEMESTER TWO has begun!!! Strange. Feels so weird to think that we are already so far through the year but there are exciting times ahead. Reflecting on my holiday I can say that it was a...
Just take a Chill-Pill
Just take a Chill-Pill - simple, but great words of advice my Mum gives me every time I turn into a big, fat ball of stress - which is a frequent occurrence for someone like me, who’s biggest driver of study and work, is stress. I don’t think I can count the amount...
You live and you learn
I've finished my last exam and man, does it it feel sooo good. Those two weeks full of exams were a whirlwind and yet it felt like they would never end. Semester one as a whole, literally flew right past me. I'm 1/8 done with my degree, however, I'm supposedly not...
Getting turnt to lessons learnt
Cheesy heading - I know - but it’s officially the last day of lectures for my first Semester of University, and ya girl is shook! What an absolute roller coaster the past few months have been! So I thought before I move into the heat of exams, and progress into a...
In and Out, In and Out
